TALKING TIP OF THE MONTH
Think about the impact a dummy may have on your child's talking
It is recommended that you reduce the use of your child's dummy between six months and one year of age. Dummies can get in the way of talking. A child may attempt to say less sounds or not copy sounds. When they start using words, the dummy can get in the way of their tongue movements, particularly if your child is speaking with the dummy in their mouth.
